Day 2 - February 1, 2011

DAY 2 - February 1, 2011

(Maybe one of these days, I'll actually post on time.)

Okay, here's what my eating habits looked like yesterday:

Meal #1: 9:30 AM

GOAL: C = 46, P = 28, F = 8, cal = 368

• 1 cup Cheerios (C = 20, P = 3, F = 2, cal = 100)
• 1 cup 2% milk (C = 12, P = 8, F = 5, cal = 130)
• ½ scoop protein mix, sprinkled over cereal (C = 2, P = 13, F = 1, cal =70)

TOTAL: C = 34, P = 24, F = 8, cal = 300

Meal #2: 5:00 PM

GOAL: C = 46, P = 28, F = 8, cal = 368

• 1 piece pita (C = 24, P = 8, F = 2, cal =140)
• 2 tbsp hummus (C = 4, P = 2, F = 4, cal = 50)
• 1 cup Mrs. Grass Chicken Noodle Soup (C = 19, P = 5, F = 2, cal = 110)
• ½ scoop protein mix, mixed with 8 oz. Diet Lipton Green Tea (C = 2, P = 13, F = 1, cal = 70)

TOTAL: C = 49, P = 28, F = 9, cal = 370

If you're particularly astute (no, that's not an insult), you may have noticed these are the same two meals I had for meals #1 and #2 the day before.  I had originally planned on mixing it up, but I didn't because my patience reserves were running on empty when I was planning my meals for February 1, and I didn't feel like comparing a bunch of labels at the time.  By the time I rolled around to plotting the rest of my meals, I had replenished my patience levels and therefore got a little more variety.  I was about to say that variety was the spice of life, but 1) that would be such a terrible cliche, and 2) it got me to thinking about Colonel Sander's 11 secret herbs and spices, and . . . ooh, yummy.

Anyways!

Meal #3: 3:30 PM

GOAL: C = 46, P = 28, F = 8, cal = 368

• ½ Sandwich Thin (C = 11, P = 3, F = 1, cal = 50)
• ½ 93% lean beef patty (C = 0, P = 16, F = 6, cal = 115)
• 1 banana (C = 27, P = 1, F = 0, cal = 105)

TOTAL: C = 38, P = 20, F = 7, cal = 270

That was the last banana in the house, unfortunately, so I had to improvise for the next meal.

Meal #4: 6:30 PM

GOAL: C = 46, P = 28, F = 8, cal = 368

• ½ Sandwich Thin (C = 11, P = 3, F = 1, cal = 50)
• ½ 93% lean beef patty (C = 0, P = 16, F = 6, cal = 115)
• 8 oz. hot cocoa (C = 26, P = 3, F = 3, cal = 140)

TOTAL: C = 37, P = 22, F = 10, cal = 305

Eh, bananas . . . hot cocoa . . . they're the same.  Ish.  You say potato, I say . . . mmmm, potato.

Meal #5: 8:30 PM

GOAL: C = 46, P = 28, F = 8, cal = 368

• 1 chocolate Special K protein shake (C=29, P = 10, F = 5, cal = 190)
• 1 capsule fish oil (C = 0, P = 0, F = 1, cal = 10)
• 1 slice whole wheat bread (C = 13, P = 2, F = 2, cal = 70)
• 1 tsp. strawberry jam (C = 4, P = 0, F = 0, cal = 15)

TOTAL: C = 46, P = 13, F = 7, cal = 285

DAILY TOTALS

GOALS:

• C = 230
• P = 140
• F = 40
• cal = 1840

CONSUMED: 

• C = 204 (-26)
• P = 107 (-33)
• F = 41 (+1) oops . . . 
• cal = 1530 (-310)

I need to focus on eating less fat and more protein . . . which means reading more labels.  ARRRRGGGH!!!!

Physical Activity for the Day:

I shoveled half of my driveway.  Mom got the other half.  You probably don't know what my driveway looks like.  If it wasn't so dark outside right now, I'd take a picture of it and show it to you.  I'll try to do that tomorrow.  That's no small feat.  You should be proud of both me and my mom.  Oh, and Wrangler, my dog.  He helped too, in his own way.

Questions for Justin:

• Just one today.  What are some good low-fat, high-protein foods?

Did you drink all three Stumpies?

Yes, I did!
